They proclaim that there are no entities, that nothing exists but motion,
and blank out the fact that motion presupposes the thing which moves,
that without the concept of entity, there can be no such concept as

know, of a consciousness able to know it, and of a knowledge that has learned
to distinguish between such concepts as the proved and the unproved.
